NEW Essie Winter Collection : Leading Lady

All of you may know, that every couple of months Essie brings us a new collection, some good, some great and some average.

This winter Essie is bringing us a new collection that provides a mix of different shades from glitters to bright blues. I present to you Essie Leading Lady.

As you can see, these colors do not necessarily reflect winter, but the collection is an eclectic mix of colors ''a woman wouldn't necessarily wear'', hence the Independent woman connotation in the nail polish color titles.

The ''it'' color of the collection is ''Leading Lady'' which is the perfect color for the holiday season, a nice jelly red packed with red glitters
''Beyond cozy'' is the color I will definitely snatch up first. It is a beautiful gold and silver glitter that looks like foils on your fingers almost. Again, your perfect holiday polish !

Then, you have two blue toned polishes, one called ''Butler please'' that is a bright cobalt blue and ''Where's my chauffeur ?'' that is a bright turquoise.

Also, in this collection are two red toned shades called ''She's pampered'' and ''Snap Happy'' that are both colors that are not unique, but still classic.

All in all, this collection is something you would not usually see for a Winter collection, but in my opinion Essie nailed it just by giving us two nailpolishes filled with glitters that are still opaque and nothing like the Luxe Effects collection.

You can be sure that I will be grabbing that gold/silver foil nailpolish the minute I see this collection, and of course share some swatches with you !!!!


Enjoy !

Florals & Red Lips

 
 
 
 
The blazer in these pictures makes the whole outfit ! I am obsessed with it, it brightens up any day !
Also, recently I have been addicted to red/bright lips, that night I decided to wear one of the best drugstore red lipsticks Revlon's Rasberry Bite.
 
 
 
Soon, I will post a review and swatches of the Revlon lipsticks that I have accumulated over these past couple of months.

The Jean Shirt






 
This summer prints were all over the place and this trend followed us right into fall, make sure to check out my post on fall prints. You can pair your prints with basic tops or my favorite way is to wear prints with a chambray/jean shirt, it breaks the print and gives it a very chic look.

Wet'N'Wild Discovery

During my stay in Las Vegas, I decided to hit the nearest Walgreen's to see if there was anything they had that we did not have in Canada. I found a Wet'N'Wild palette, a brand that is available in Canada in Wal-Mart stores, but that is always sold out when I go look for it.

I grabbed a palette and absolutely fell in love, the color payoff is amazing for the small amount of money you spend on it, a whopping 2.97$
 
The first palette I got my hands on is ''Walking on Eggshells'', a perfect trio of neutral colors for an everyday makeup look.







A couple of weeks after using these 3 colors for a nice easy-going makeup look, I decided to hit my local Wal-Mart to see if they had more products I would be interested in.
I found a second eyeshadow palette called ''Sweet as Candy'', that is also in the neutral range of colors but with a nice light pink, that can easily brighten up a look.





Then I found a blush, which is my current makeup obsession. Give me a new blush to try and I will be a happy girl ! The blush is called ''Pearlescent Pink'' and has a really good color payoff and for a little 4.57$.






To conclude, you must go take a look at these products, they are so cheap and so worth it !

Enjoy !

September Uniform


 
 




In September, my uniform pretty much consisted of a loose blouse, some jeans and my all mighty loafers, loafers of all prints and sorts. I am utterly obsessed with loafers, it's like walking in stylish house slippers !
 
Now that October has knocked on our doors with the cooler weather, I cannot wait to jump into sweaters and layering !

Fall Makeup Wishlist

As soon as fall comes, we change our wardrobe and we change our makeup items. This year the season brings us deep burgundy's and berry colors, in the lipcolors, blush colors and eyeshadow colors.

Here is my fall wishlist makeup items, I need to pick these up asap !


 
The first makeup item I cannot wait to put my hands on is this fabulous berry-colored blush by Nars called Sin. You cannot go wrong with a Nars blush, they have amazing pigmentation and they blend so beautifully on your cheeks.
 
Then, I move on to Chanel, how can you even skip a Chanel product, I have been utterly obsessed by this brand from such a young age, and this year Chanel keeps on bringing out amazing collections. The holiday collection that is set to hit counters in the upcoming months has a ridiculous eyeshadow palette. A burgundy color that just caught my eye and that would look amazing as a smokey-eye.
 
Stella McCartney perfume. No words. I have been wanting this perfume since this summer, but thank God I waited, just look at this limited edition bottle, how can I pass this up.
 
Finally, my last product is pure perfection, it is the Rose Diamond by Dior. A fabulous highlighter, that can also be used as blush or eye shadows. I already own the Amber Diamond by Dior which is in the browns/neutral colors, and I use it almost everyday. Now, I cannot wait to add Rose Diamond to my collection.
 
What is your fall makeup wishlist ?

NOTW : Essie Sand Tropez

Every time I purchase a nude color nail polish it sits on my table for months, because I always find something better to apply that week.

This week with the release of the Chanel greige shade Frenzy, I decided to apply a shade that had never caught my eye before, but that is so popular in the Essie community.
Here is Chanel's Frenzy

And now, I present to you Essie Sand Tropez !


GREIGE is one of the ''it'' colors this fall, it's the perfect mix between a light grey and a light beige and makes the perfect ''office appropriate'' color to wear during the week.


A definite color to add to your collection, because it will never go out of style, it's a classic beige with a little twist and perfect for work !

Enjoy.

*Project 10*

I decided to challenge myself this month. If you know me, then you know I have a slight problem with shopping......whether it's beauty, accessories, clothes, shoes you name it. I love it ! I love to shop for myself, love to shop for others, love to take others shopping, all of the above.

This month I will put myself to the test of PROJECT 10.

Project 10 means I am allowed to purchase only 10 items until October 31st inclusively.

Here are the Project 10 rules :

The 10 items include :
- all beauty products, unless I need to repurchase something I use daily. (Ex : face cream, drugstore    mascara, etc. )
- all footwear, shoes, boots, sandals.
- all nail polishes (drugstore or Chanel)
- any item of clothing (Ex : sweaters, pants, tops, leggings, and so on....)

I will share with you as the month goes on, the difficult choices I will have to make, in order to choose my 10 items.
You can be sure I will stay away from malls and Sephora :(

May PROJECT 10 begin !

Hopefully, I will survive..........but do I get a treat at the end ? :)
